Recent studies show that homeschooled children outperform typical students in Academics. "A recent U.S study of 4600 children, ... found that homeschooled kids routinely outperform ordinary students" (Nikiforuk, par. 7). Homeschooled kids also outperform normal students from public and private schools by 80% in standardized achievement tests (Nikiforuk, par. 7). An impartial academic study of 20,000 children in 1999 found homeschooled kids at the third grade level could read as well as public school 6th graders (Trussel, par. 3). All these facts and studies show that homeschooling would be the proper choice for many families. These studies show that many homeschooled students are smart and ahead in academics a lot showing that they might have a better chance at college and other goals in life.
